About David

Rebecca and David built Coyote Cove as their vacation dream home in 2008 to share with their family and friends. A native of northern Illinois, Rebecca chose the exterior colors to echo the lovely natural hues of abundant summer cornfields, and even the charming lady bugs she played with as a child. Galena Territory's hills, valleys and natural beauty captivate David, who grew up deep in the Ozarks. His labor of love was to select an especially scenic site, and situate the home and all its windows to capture compelling views of the surrounding natural beauty, while offering guests perfect privacy.

David purchased this house in 2008

Why David chose Galena

From the beginning of their Coyote Cove project, Rebecca and David knew they would offer this home for rental to guests, whom they wanted to enjoy its relaxing amenities and beautiful setting. Special attention was given to every detail of design, furniture and furnishings to attend to every need and interest of guests. The immense harvest dining table, comfortable bedding, plush towels, large rooms, spacious seating, abundantly equipped kitchen, endearing artwork, charming furniture, expansive decks, breezy screened porch and open air, open sky hot tub all reflect this passionate attention to detail.

What makes this house unique

Unlike so many other vacation rental homes that cram too many bedrooms into too little space, on small lots with little privacy and minimal views, Coyote Cove offers guests spacious comfort, privacy and beauty for all their pursuits all day long. Large gathering rooms on each of three levels allow guests to be together or apart as they need or desire and to pursue a wide range of activities and pleasures. Three outdoor decks, and a separate screened porch, expand these gathering choices. The large yard allows for more vigorous activities, and even the spacious, paved driveway affords ample parking. This eases loading and unloading of your golf bags, fishing rods, skis or luggage -- as well as all the bags of whatever you may buy when you shop historic Galena's Main Street shops.

Car: recommended

Galena's a fun, charming, very historic town in scenic northwest Illinois. Galena Territory is a beautiful, nearby, 7000 acre vacation housing development, emphasizing careful preservation of natural landscape and woods, protection of wildlife, and diverse recreational opportunities: golf, tennis, fishing, swimming, hiking and boating. It is home to the renowned Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa and four superb golf courses. Galena is famous for its abundant restaurants, entertainment, shopping and historical venues. The beautiful, blue upper Mississippi River meanders nearby through deep lovely valleys, and close-by Dubuque, Iowa, adds all the amenities of a prosperous and bustling mid-sized city and university town.

Girls Weekend Away 2017

My girlfriends and I cannot say enough about this home! It was very clean, very comfortable and VERY well stocked with anything you need in a kitchen. We have been doing a girls weekend away for about 15 years and this is by far the best house we have ever rented. The owners were great to work with and very informative about the area. We move around and try to discover new houses and new areas to have a relaxing time away from the hectic schedules and demands of having a family and jobs. We will most definitely keep this on our list of places to return to in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone!!! Thanks David and Rachel for all your help and a great place to stay!

Absolutely amazing

Everyone enjoyed their stay and the home is just beautiful. I spoke so highly of Coyote Cove that my principal wants to try to have a Professional Development there. David and the whole crew are just exceptional. I'll be back for sure ☺️😎

Great house with gracious hosts

The home is well-laid out and comfortably furnished, but the owners went further and thought of all your needs. It made for relaxing and enjoyable stay for all = ages 64 down to 1. The owners take meticulous care of everything. All of the bedrooms were comfortable. There were plenty of baths. They even stocked beach towels for swimming in the Association's pool. The stay could not have been more pleasant. Now we just have to co-ordinate calendars for another stay.

Fantastic house. Quiet. Great place to unwind and relax

It's a beautiful property. Modern and in great shape with nice rooms and decks and a great hot tub. It's quiet. Lots of howls and chirps and stars at night. The kitchen is modern and everything works well. No complaints!

girls weekend success

David & his contact made us feel so comfortable & at home. Every question/email/phone call was returned promptly within hours. Everything we needed for a wonderful weekend away was provided. We enjoyed the community pool with ease, took a dip in the hot tub & had enough room to relax and enjoy the house. I have ZERO complaints about booking Coyote Cove & would definitely book it again! Thank you David!!
